ACM Honors 2025 Distinguished Members for Driving the Future of Computing

ACM has named 61 new Distinguished Members. All the 2025 inductees are registered members and were selected by their peers for significant technical achievements and/or volunteer service.  

“We see the annual announcement of a new class of Distinguished Members as one of our most important events and an excellent way to cap off the year,” said ACM President Yannis Ioannidis. “It’s our opportunity to recognize computing innovators whose efforts and creativity underpin the technologies that shape our world. And for those new Distinguished Members who are being recognized for their service, we’re underscoring that our field depends on colleagues who volunteer their time to serve the greater good. From conference organizers to editorial board members of ACM journals and computer science curriculum developers, these peers support the community that benefits us all. In many ways, becoming an ACM Distinguished Member is only a milestone towards greater achievements. We’re excited to see how these leaders will continue to shape our increasingly digital society.”

The 2025 ACM Distinguished Members work at leading universities, corporations, and research institutions in Australia, Belgium, Canada, Chile, China, Germany, India, Korea, Mexico, New Zealand, Portugal, Singapore, Switzerland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. This year’s Distinguished Members are cited for contributions in a wide range of computing research areas including AI for healthcare, computing education, data management, human-computer interaction, mobile computing, networked systems, security, software, sustainability, and numerous other areas.

The ACM Distinguished Member program recognizes up to 10 percent of the worldwide ACM membership for their technical achievements and/or service to the field.
